King definitely has a problem with endings, but people are wrong when they say he's never had a good one. Don't forget about Rita Hayworth and the Shawshank Redemption. Amazing ending (both the novella and the film), although maybe its telling that its also one of his least "horror" stories. It was originally in his Different Seasons collection along with Apt Pupil and The Body (which was filmed as Stand By Me).

I went back and read it again and like it even more than I did back then. It's also kind of cool to see Walter/Flagg in a completely different world/situation.

I think the issue is that a lot of people use the word addiction wrong most of the time which makes people more skeptical when you say you are addicted to something that isn't either alcohol or hard drugs.

quote:I've financially ruined myself over the past couple weeks and it's all my fault. A couple years ago I got the job I have now and I wanted to impress my parents so I told them I am making about 4 times as much as I actually do. I actually make about 29000 a year with a PhD but I told my parents I make 110k. Earlier this month I went back to visit for my sister's wedding. I felt obligated to rack up my credit card debt to get a gift consistent with my salary, and also treat them all to a lot of fancy dinners and just gifts in general. yikes 15 grand, what, did you pay for the wedding? Well, if it's any consolation, you were already $25k in debt before this even happened (student loans?) so this isn't really that huge of a swing. Just live within your means, try to get a higher-paying job as soon as you can, and pay it off slowly. Tons of people are in this same boat. quote:I just gave 50 dollars to a kickstarter movie that everyone in the chat of one of the producer's twitch stream knows (including the producer) will be test audienced on (name preemptly removed due to ). I did the 50 dollars just to say when the movie becomes a VOD hit "I'm friends with the film producer who got praised by vin Disel in a video contest before Machinima hosed things up and he lost his mind". I really can't call this an irresponsible spending decision after the first confession This one also came with a crossover Rick & Morty / The Simpsons meme image that was completely unrelated to the confession

To be clear I'm not saying there aren't real addictions to things other than those things, just that people in general are too loose with the term addiction when they really mean compulsion or something like that. Like people will say they are totally addicted to watching TV but can function entirely normally if you take it away from them for a week. It's kind of like when people say they are gluten intolerant. There are so many people who claim they are when they don't even know what gluten is and are trying to fit in with a fad that the people with the actual problem get viewed the same as the fakers.

See it’s not that the government was responsible for gross negligence that could have resulted in the death of millions, it’s not that the gmo wheat was killing people, it’s just that genetically inferior people are too pussy to take it.

I want every day to look like some low budget made for VHS D&D pastiche where I can wander around in something goddamn comfortably flowing and not have to worry about maybe getting fired from my job for wearing a pathetically uncomfortable button down shirt that is too cold in winter and too hot in summer and too tight everywhere, and wrapping some kind of useless bullshit scrap of patterned polyester around my neck instead of a practical and stylish liripipe, or god drat modern suit coats becaus god forbid you'd want the flexibility to raise your arms above your shoulders without straining against your own wool/poly blend shitcoat from TJ Max that you only bought because some rear end in a top hat at work made a rule. The only modern clothing item I want to wear is cargo pants and pants with pockets, and then the assholes that make up this stuff at work say no cargo pants allowed! Only bullshit pants! Oh yeah of course the one modern clothing item that is comfortable and practical is also the one thing they ban. Jesus gently caress. Also I am going to wear my leather bracers to work and if anyone gives me crap about that I'm going to point out that some of the ladies get to dangle like 5 pounds of gaudy nickel plated metal bracelets from their forearms and that doesn't even give protection against dangerous office things like being stapled accidentally. I'm not really sure how you can start from "pants are uncomfortable and shirts are too tight" and end up at "I demand the right to wear leather bracers" Anyway utilikilts are super neckbeardy but if you're wearing leather bracers around you probably don't mind that so utilikilt it up quote:In response to the sexually aroused It goon, I took an ex girlfriend to see this film two weeks ago and she got so aroused during the haunted house scene that she stuck my hand down her pants and I got her off. time for some Scooby-Doo roleplay if you ask me

I remember buying cargo pants for a summer job at a nursery (horticulture - not children related) on the recommendation of another employee. They were quite durabale and had better movement than jeans (plus cheap). The extra pockets were great for carrying labels, ties, small packets, and tools. I pretty much trashed them during that summer and threw them out at the end. Cue next summer; I get a job at the same place and go to buy another paid only this time they had become fashionable and the prices had gone up proportionally. I still bought a pair but felt a lot of resentment towards their recent popularity. Anyway - my point is that they have their uses but I can't understand wearing them if you aren't working in manual labour.

I'm super tired this morning but here is a long fesh and a short feshquote:This is a long story. I always had a crush on my cousin when we were teenagers. She acted like I didn't exist but she was classically beautiful and a kind person to boot. Unfortunately she was something of a screw up: she had a string of loser boyfriends, had difficulties keeping a job, and didn't seem very ambitious. She was destined to be the wife of some loser who would treat her poorly, cheat on her, etc. That's what I told myself. quote:I'm the one who sent in the confession about lying about my income and being in a lot of debt. I just wanted to respond to a couple of loquacius's questions. The original 25k debt is almost entirely from online poker when I used to be able to load my account with credit cards. It was originally closer to 35k but I've been paying it down slowly when I had a better paying job, but now like I said I can't keep up with the interest. I have never worn a suit worth more than $400 in total, if that I don't think I knew your previous job actually paid more than this one. Why did you agree to take this job in the first place? At any rate if half that money actually was to pick up some wedding costs because the rest of your family couldn't do it themselves, that kind of rules out the idea that you could ask them for help. I'd say it's probably about time to try to get your old job back, or something like it. Even if the new one is more fulfilling, which I don't imagine it is, the time to take a big pay cut isn't when you're 40 grand in debt. It is possible for you to get a higher-paying job, because you've had one before, and you need it, so start updating your resume. And, y'know, obviously try to keep your spending under control loquacius fucked around with this message at 13:32 on Oct 3, 2017 |
